Read on for a full description

DAY 1 4/25: We fly into Lima, where we will stay overnight, to fly to Cuzco the next morning.

DAY 2 4/26: We fly to Cuzco, the capital of the Incan Empire. It is said the Incan Empire was built in the shape of a jaguar and that Cuzco is the head of the jaguar. We spend the rest of the day in Cuzco, enjoying the sites, visiting the marketplaces. This gives you a chance to acclimate to the heights.

DAY 3 4/27: We go to Ollanta, the town where Ollantaytambo, the Temple of The Winds is. Here, we begin our preparation for our Sweat Lodge of the Three Worlds of the Inca. Part of that preparation is working with Doña Julia who has prepared medicine floral baths for us.

DAY 4 4/28: This is the first day of our Sweat Lodge. The Uhupacha, the Lower World and the domain of Wascarinka, is the first world in which we travel. The Uhupacha is where the shadows of the past are lovingly kept until we are ready to bring them up to the Light for transformation.

DAY 5 4/29: On this second day of our Sweat Lodge, we travel in the Kaypacha, the Middle World. This is the energetic domain of Pachamama, the earth that we live upon, and the domain of Quetzecoatl. Here we have the opportunity to remove resistance in our everyday life so that we can live freely.

DAY 6 4/30: On this third and final day of our Sweat Lodge, we go to the Hanaqpacha, the Upper World and the domain of Pachacuti. It is here that we can make the choice to fly or to fall.

DAY 7 5/1: Today is a day of rest. Once again, Doña Julia’s medicine floral baths cleanse us of the rigors of the journeys we have just taken.

DAY 8 5/2: We return to Cuzco, where we can shop and relax.

DAY 9 5/3: We have one day in Cuzco to rest before we fly to Lima for the flight back to the States. We go out for a dinner of celebration, giving thanks and delight for the journey we have just undertaken.

DAY 10 5/4: We return to Lima for our flight back to the States. We stay at Miraflores, where we can store our luggage until we go to the airport. We can go to the marketplace or just simply rest.
